Abstract

Endoprotesi per l'osteosintesi del femore prossimale caratterizzata dal fatto che comprende un infibulo endomidollare presentante una semiparte superiore che forma un angolo ottuso con la semiparte inferiore e che ha la semiparte inferiore interessata da almeno uno spesso intaglio longitudinale passante e la semiparte superiore attraversata da un foro sghembo lungo il quale è montato scorrevole il corpo di un chiodo avente la porzione destinata ad accoppiarsi all'osso interessata da alette radiali di vincolo a rotazione, fra corpo del chiodo e foro dell'infibulo essendo presenti mezzi atti ad impedirne la rotazione relativa.Endoprosthesis for osteosynthesis of the proximal femur characterized by the fact that it includes an intramedullary infibulum having an upper half-part which forms an obtuse angle with the lower half-part and that has the lower half-part affected by at least one thick longitudinal notch passing through and the upper half-part crossed by a skew hole along which the body of a nail is slidably mounted having the portion destined to mate to the bone affected by rotational constraining radial fins, between the body of the nail and the hole of the infibulum being provided means capable of preventing its relative rotation.
